The fifth episode of
Koh-Lanta
broadcast Friday on TF1 saw the end of the four regional teams.
The tribes have been recomposed: from now on, the reds face the yellows.
Adrien, a member of the red team, was eliminated at the end of the council.
The 30-year-old railway engineer, who "wanted to play in a completely assumed strategic way" looks back for
20 Minutes
on his experience in the game.
Gone is the island of exile and the four regional teams.
On the occasion of the fifth episode of
Koh-Lanta
broadcast Friday on TF1, the game resumed a more traditional configuration.
Alix and Bertrand-Kamal, first and second in the comfort test, were tasked with putting together two new teams: the yellow and the red.
The cards were therefore completely reshuffled.
Adventurers must come to terms with this new dynamic and think about new alliances.
In this regard, Adrien, the most strategic candidate at the start of the season, should have excelled.
He got tripped up in his shenanigans and double talk and it ended in his elimination from the Red team.
“Even though I knew I was putting myself on the front row playing this way, I underestimated my opponents.
They played their game well by leading me in the boat, it's fair game ", slips the railway engineer reached on the phone this Friday by
20 Minutes
.
At the end of the council, on learning of his elimination, he put on a good face, accusing him of the blow.
"I'm not a bad loser or bitter," he says.
There is however one thing that he refuses to understand: that his acolytes accuse him of having started talking about eliminations even before the immunity test is disputed.
“I think that's a bit of a stretch.
I would do the same thing if I had to do it again, says the 30-something.
Of course, you don't have to wait until the last moment to get started!
Advice can happen very quickly, sometimes immediately after the test.
It is not being defeatist to prepare for a possible council.
Anticipating seems logical to me.
"
"Not to be seen as a leader, it was a strategy"
His anticipation consisted of speaking to each member of the red team, speaking differently depending on who he was in front of him.
It might have been an illusion if Marie-France, her former teammate with the Violets du Nord, had not revealed her schemes to the others.
"I thought I had managed to convince her to ally with me because I had tried to save her on her first elimination by offering her an alliance when I could have stayed in my corner and not calculated it" , admits Adrien.
Basically, his real project was "mathematical": he wanted to form a majority alliance to eliminate someone among the former Greens, in this case Joaquina.
Today, he says he prefers to have remorse than regret.
He does not lament that he preferred to bet on strategy rather than prowess in the events.
According to him, if he was not top performer, it was on purpose.
“It is dangerous at the start of the adventure, to show too much, to be too strong in the events because you put a target on your back.
Somehow, it suited me well to be average or behind.
I was planning to level up as the tests progress.
I did not have the time.
Not to be considered as a leader, it was a strategy ”, he explains while conceding that he could not“ necessarily have done better in the tests ”.
Once his torch has been extinguished by Denis Brogniart, Adrien believes that he has become the person he is in everyday life, more fair play.
He specifies: “On a daily basis, I am a fairly thoughtful person, but I do not have this Machiavellian side, capable of sticking a knife in my back.
I am not ready to do anything to achieve my ends.
But in the game, I wanted to play in a completely assumed strategy.
Unfortunately, this did not succeed.
